biophysics_fitting.L5tt_parameter_setup.get_L5tt_template()

Get a template cell parameter dictionary for a L5PT cell.

This method returns a nested dictionary-like object that can be used to set up a L5PT cell for simulations. The values of each key are set to None or default values, and need to be filled in with the actual values. This dictionary-like parameter structure is used by e.g. the Simulator object. It provides information on:

  • For each section label (for an L5PT: Soma, AIS, ApicalDendrite, Dendrite, Myelin):

    • neuron.<section_label>.mechanisms: active biophysics of the cell (e.g. ion channel densities)

    • neuron.<section_label>.properties: passive biophysics of the cell (e.g. membrane capacitance)

  • sim: simulation parameters:

    • T: temperature

    • Vinit: initial voltage

    • dt: time step

    • recordingSites: recording sites

    • tStart: start time

    • tStop: stop time

Returns:

The template cell parameters.

Return type:
